    They’d also get along really well by sobbing uncontrollably with existential dread because they’re gonna outlive all their companions.

      oh God, yeah that would actually be such a good moment. a late series frieren that has finally come to terms with her feelings getting to talk it all over with a seemingly very young elf.

      or, i could see an earlier frieren having someone like marcille help get realize her own feelings. or maybe both of them to realize what it is that they fear together.

      they could do a lot with those two characters meeting in frieren. on the other hand, frieren would fit very strangely in dungeon meshi. her methods and motivations would probably make her clear that dungeon overnight with a self satisfied smile and a giddy joy at the magic tome she got from it. might be a bit anti climactic.

        Marcy is 50 according to her character sheet. So yeah, very young as far as elves go. Though in Dungeon Meshi a normal elven lifespan is 500. As opposed to Frieren who still appears child-like at a 1000.

        They do make for a very fun cross-over pair. They are two very different characters that both deal with some of the same problems. But the worlds they inhabit are also very different. There’s a bona-fide imperial elven civilization in Dungeon Meshi, that is ahead in basically all things magic (though dwarves are on top technologically, hence their equal footing in the ancient world war between them).

        Have you read the manga? Dungeons are not really something you “clear” in the Dungeon Meshi world. They don’t really have a final level.

        In fact they don’t exist entirely in a real dimension. As the levels go deeper, they intrude into another plane. Another dimension that just keeps going.

        And the book she’d get out of it would be equivalent to discovering nuclear weapons. Potentially world-ending.
